24 gallon aquapod

clyde:) · 12-25-2007, 03:29 AM

hi all,i just ordered a 24 aquapod with 2/32 lighting and i was wondering if anybody had the nanotuners.com upgrade with 108 watt pc????and if its worth 170$

and if i could keep a bta and lps corals in it?

You should be ok with LPS but I am not so sure about the BTA. Can you get the Sunpod with the MH lights? That would be my preference.

clyde:) · 12-25-2007, 06:51 PM

what about lps in the stock lighting??

Hammer and frogspawn should be fine - I know my frogspawn out grew my nano cube under stock lighting.

Long tentacle plates are a tricky coral to keep long term

I'm not sure it just always seems it's one of those corals people don't have long term success with - I'll try to reasearch a bit from home I have very limited web access here at work

ok,sounds good

clyde:) · 12-27-2007, 10:20 PM

where can i buy really white live sand?????

and what about this choice of fishes ,a dwarf lionfish,a gold stripe maroon clownfish and a flame angelfish,and if those will work wich one should i put in first??????

lcstorc · 12-28-2007, 04:20 PM

Sounds like a predator tank to me. I would go angel, clown, lion.
Maroon clowns can be super nasty when they grow up. Don't try to add a second after the fact or there will be bloodshed.

do you think thats too much bioload???by the way a predator tank is what i kind'a wanted

clyde:) · 12-28-2007, 06:09 PM

umm i really need to know what EXACTLY should be in the filter chambers cause my tank gets here tommorow!!!!!and when i get it,what should be the first steps like when should i order live rock and live sand????and where from???

Clyde. You may want to use what comes with the Aquapod for start-up then change things as you go along. The Aquapod comes with a filter block that many hobbyists change out for LR. There are also several mods that can be made to make the 'pod better.

As for white LS and LR, do you have a LFS that you can shop and buy these things from? If you are an internet shopper then www.marinedepot.com or many of our sponsors can supply these things. Our sponsors are located at the bottom of the forums page, just click on any of the banners. BTW, Happy early Birthday!

I totally missed that this was for an Aquapod. That is way to many fish for that tank. The dwarf lion alone needs a mim 30g tank. I have seen maroon clowns at 6 inches in aquaria. You might get away with the maroon and the flame but that would be it for that tank other than CUC.
